A quick update, I'm still alive and working on retopology.

I had to take some time away from working on this as I hurt my hand (fingers bent right back >.< ) so holding a pen has been pretty painful. Unfortunately this means I'm way behind schedule and to finish on time I've had to cut a few elements from the design.

Mainly this includes his beard, which as I progressed was afraid might of hindered the design. Perhaps this is just a younger incarnation of the character

So I'd been working on this non stop during the weekend and while there were some features I had to exclude and shortcuts I had to take I still had a model to submit before the deadline.

This morning my home internet wouldn't wake up. RIP.

So I'm writing this from work and while I'll try and upload what I can via mobile hotspot tonight there's a good chance I'm now going to miss the deadline. Bah.

I also made another fun little viewer experiment. I was meant to upload this before the final images.etc but the forums were down for maintenance.

My aim was to try and show him casting a spell using his weapons staff configuration. Pretty wacky:

All in all this was a pretty fun project although I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep! Its a shame I had to cut so much out of the design but I don't believe I've ever done so much work in so little time. Pretty proud of the ol'badger. Congrats to everyone who participated, there is some truly outstanding work on show!
